English abstract:
In this trend paper the major elements of the European Unionīs Policy on Environmental Protection and Sustainable Development and resulting challenges for Analytical Sciences will be presented. The priority issues dealt with are:
. Sustainable management of natural resources: air, water, soil.
. Climate change and clean energy.
. Global development cooperation.
Analytical Sciences are required to provide policy relevant information for the development and implementation of European Community legislation and form a strong pillar for a sustainable evolution of our region and our planet.
It will be shown which information needs to be provided, how the necessary quality levels can be achieved and which new approaches, e.g. combining measurements and modelling, or earth-observation with in-situ chemical/physical measurements, need to be taken to achieve an integrated assessment of the state of the environment and to develop approaches for sustainable development.
Keywords:
analytical sciences, environment, sustainable development, natural resources, climate change, renewable energies, development cooperation
